    TLDR Mutant mice help researchers understand hair growth and related genetic factors.
    The document reviewed various mutant mice with hair abnormalities, categorized into six types: low hair follicle numbers, hair morphogenesis disorders, hair follicle cycling disorders, hair follicle structure disorders, sebaceous gland structure disorders, and hair growth disorders due to immunological issues. The increasing number of such mutants, due to advanced genetic engineering, provided insights into the roles of many gene products in hair biology. An annotated table was provided to help researchers understand molecular controls of hair growth and compare new mouse models with existing ones.
